    Tried using my Droid in the rain last night..

    Noticed the screen bugged out when it had some rain drops on it. Anyone know why this is? The screen either would not recognize my touches or when it did it bugged out. Id scroll down on a web page and it would zoom out.

    I thought it might be the same on all capacitive screens so I pulled out my ipod touch to test it. But it worked flawlessly under the same conditions...

    Any reason why this would be?

    It's a phone. Shouldn't you be able to use it in wet conditions. Every one I have owner so far could be used in light rain at least. Handy if you have just driven into a ditch.

    I avoid using it in the rain; water and electronics do not go well together. One thing to make a quick emergency call another to just be in the rain playing on your droid.

    I was lost and needed a map and the sky seemed fit to rain on me?

    It was only a few rain drops on the screen. Not like I submerged it in the atlantic ocean..

    Rain Drops

    Usually after I wash my hands and go directly to use the Droid it seems
    that th moisture screws around with the touch screen sensitivity thereby rendering it slow to respond the touch.

    I'm just guessing here, I'm not an electronic guru - I just stayed at motel 6 last night.
